Yes you can. I live outside of US (United Kingdom) and I own a Kindle 6″ Global Wireless Version and I bought books with my Amazon gift card.
See the section “Using Gift Cards for Kindle Purchases” in the link below for the steps:
Sometimes I don’t need gift cards to purchase kindle books from either, in my country I have free wireless that works outside of the U.S. that is why it is called “Global” wireless as the wireless works all over the world so you don’t have to buy gift cards.
In your country if it is available for the Kindle the wireless should work for you with no need to scurry around for hot spots. This means you can get Kindle books directly to your Kindle in less than 60 seconds.
I think for the majority of Asia the Kindle is available, check the information for your country here:
Then click on where it says ‘Click here to see important information specific to your country’.
You’ll love it, I’m sure! (I’m hooked to my Kindle)

Yes. Actually the Kindle global wireless edition is now available to many countries in Asia. If it is available to your country, you should be able to directly buy books in the Kindle store as well:
I’ll also suggest you to read this review from a top reviewer who is also a book lover, it outlines quite a lot of benefits of the Kindle and also why it is worth especially at the end of the review:
And you know, there are some websites like these two, where you can find more than ten thousand free books for the Kindle. So no need to go to library to borrow them, you can actually own them:
Hope this helps.
